After getting hit by the purple fog he and falling to the floor. Mizu was suddenly dropped inside a city, the sky was black as there were corals everywhere. The buildings and the surroundings were covered in coral.
He saw Ada and Amarico along with Kate being surrounded by Megalodaunts, about to be eaten "MIZU HELP US" Kate shouted as she screamed for his help.He tried to move.But he was at the same place. He looked downwards as he saw both of his legs chopped off
He tried to reach out for them but he couldnt as both of his arms were chained by an unknown chain.He tried to shout or scream but his mouth was sealed shut by stitches.
He couldn't do anything but then a light shone infront of him as someone appeared"Umi Mizu, do not fret... This is an illusion... Simply a mere concept made by your own mind..."A Goddess appeared infront of him."I Navae shall guide you, do not be lost to this illusion... This is merely something that makes you not be able to move... You are beloved by me, my apostle"His vision suddenly started to be gained back in the real world.Mizu slowly opened his eyes as the sunrays from the sun setting hits his eyes. He slowly sat up as he looked at the horizon, the sound of the sea was mostly what he can hear but there was conversations too.Mizu felt someone close to him as he saw Kate napping near him. Mizu smiled, he pats her head. Kate slowly woke up as he looked at him"AMARICO! ADAAAAA HE'S AWAKE!" Kate immediately went towards the duo as they were talking to what seems to be the guards from Etrea but they had guns instead of Katanas.Ada and Amarico looked behind them as Ada made the guards carry out the remaining corpse from the camp as she and Amarico along with Kate went towards him as Amarico immediately hit his head and hugged him"I'M SO GLAD YOU WOKE UP! I WAS WORRIED!" Amarico cried out loud "IF YOU WERE WORRIED YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE HIT MY HEAD!" Mizu retaliated Ada sat down on the chair as Kate sat on Ada's lap kind of like a child being carried by their mother."How are you doing Mizu?" Ada then looked
"Seems like were all set... Are you guys good to go?" Amarico was fixing up a bag, looking at the group who was still fixing up their clothes and armor "Almost... I just need to fix this collar up" Mizu was fixing the collar of his shirt before wearing his armor that was given by him by the blacksmith"Here let me help you out" Ada went up to Mizu as she slowly fixed it up for him. Her hands were agile and it's as if she had already done this a thousand times already. "There... That should fix it" Ada then pats any dirt off his shoulders as she grabbed the pauldrons and boots "Your old pauldrons got into bad shape when we fought with the Sharko in the cave along with the bandits so you might as well use this for now" Mizu then grabbed the new pauldrons and boots from Ada, making him smile "Thank you for the consideration Ms. Ada" Mizu slowly puts on the pauldrons and boots as Ada walked away from him.Amarico looked at Ada with some concern"So... You aren't gonna tell him yet?" A
The trio are climbing up through erisia, facing some scenery that could be even called worthy of a memory but they cant enjoy the scenery for now, as they still have to get to the manor but they soon faced a problem"Why is it doing here?!" Amarico whispered loudly as they were behind a Sharko.It seems like it wandered too far away from Vipers Jaw and it arrived here at Upper erisia."Well We need to defeat it then... They can stay in the same place for hours before moving to another spot" Ada then grabs her dagger as she then slowly creeped up behind it."Remember the same thing we did on one of them back then? We'll do it again" Amarico told Mizu as she slowly creeped up to it aswell Mizu slowly went to it's front to attract it's attention, but then when he was getting closer he saw something else..."Hey... Ada... What's that thing..." Mizu pointed in front of him. There stood a huge beast that was made up of rocks with eyes that was glowing white along with its chest there seems
"This guy is tougher than a wall made of bricks!" Amarico started to punch it's arms as she failed on destroying it's head with on strike "Tell me about it more then!" Mizu tried to slice it's legs with his sword but it merely made a clang instead of a woosh."Back up back up!" Ada shouted as the Golem was about to throw a punch towards them.They dodged it in a nick of time as Amarico then started to pull back her left arm, it slowly glowed white."Step aside!" Amarico immediately rushed towards the Golem as she then threw a strong punch towards the Golem, knocking it back making it hit a tree as well."I think I can do that trick a few more times, it looks like it's working well rather than me punching it normally" Amarico then spinned her arm, that probably moved a joint but who knows."Does it even have a weakness?" Mizu looked at his sword. It was almost bent and it had alot of scratches on it"It's weakness is basically weak towards any blunt weaponry... Like Amarico's Strong L
"So what brings you calling me, Ada?" The woman then drank the bowl of mushroom soup in a matter of seconds"Like what my shadow wisp has said, I want you to come with us in order to subdue the Duchess" Ada then slowly drank her mushroom soup with a wooden spoon"Hmm... I suppose you really do need my help..." The woman then grabbed her bag, she then pulled something out of it"I went in her laboratory and it seems she's planning big... I almost got caught by her as well" She then gave papers to Ada."What... What is this, Faye..." Ada looked thoroughly at the papers that she was given."I think she's planning on a raid" Faye was then given another bowl by Mizu, she said thank you before continuing to devour itThe papers were filled with blueprints, ways on how to make golems and how to mobilize manifactured celtors."I also didn't see any of her assistants, I think that's how she got the manifactured celtors... Tubes were everywhere inside that lab of hers" Faye then places the bowl
"Now that you got the hang of it, why not test it on the real deal itself" Faye then pointed at another Golem, it was turned around so it wouldn't see the group."How did that thing get here almost immediately!?" Amarico was already terrified. Her arm hasn't healed yet."Ah quit whining already, let me and this guy over here take care of it" Faye started walking towards it"Let's go!" Faye immediately equipped her greathammer, with Mizu equipping his new sword that Faye gave him."Alright then!" Faye and Mizu immediately went in front of it.Faye then started to distract it, only playing defensively while Mizu immediately went to it's arms, slicing through it "Woah!" Mizu immediately backed off, the Golem stumbling backwards as it just recieved a fatal damage."Nice job! Now let this Mercenary finish it off, alright?" Faye immediately threw her weapon in front of the Golem, she then boosts herself towards it.She pulls her left arm behind her, grinning."STRONG LEFT!" Faye then lands
Mizu then held his sword tightly as he looked at the creatures that was rising from the ground. Their head was covered by what seems to be corals and their face looked hideous. They were wearing armor like clothing but it was already torn off, hinting that they were adventurers once."Mizu! Becareful, they can use spells even though their mudskippers now!" Ada then started to cast a spell. A shadow tendril was formed beside her as it started to move to Mizu's location."Hang on Mizu! Let my tendril grab you and carry you here!" But then the tendril got burnt down by a fireball. The group looked at the direction where the fireball came from, they saw a Mudskipper that was wearing an armor that was mostly for mages."Mizu!" Amarico finally arrived at the other side of the bridge, she wanted to go back but she'll risk of breaking the bridge too."Ada do you have any more spells?!" Faye then started to go over the bridge but Amarico stopped her from going further"I'm trying to but I can
Mizu slowly started walking across the bridge, taking his time as he didn't want to fall off the bridge and drop into the acid lake that was beneath it."This slingshot was actually useful, thanks for that Amarico!" Faye then puts the slingshot back inside her backpack, looking at the gate that they will soon enter."You guys ready for this?" Amarico then helped Mizu get over to them as they then turned to the gate."I should give a brief rundown to her Manor... There's 3 levels overall and the last one is where she resides" Faye then drew on the ground, luckily there was a small patch of dirt "The first floor had a ton of... Celtors, I assume?" Faye then started to draw each floor correspondingly. Each of them having a drawing or two."I can't even call them real Celtors... Or people... They followed the Duchess around like they were robots and always said 'We shall return Celtor back to it's former glory' gives robotic vibes don't you think?" Faye then went to the second floor"Nex
